Hanako-chan Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (First post in TCG, yay <3) Mmm I see no way really, far too situational. It requires you to have: 1. This face-up 2. ANOTHER monster, although that can be pulled by Scout. 3. The steelswarm you Tribute Summon 4. A fourth monster at hand. And everything just to do what Ultimate Offering does better. I never run this in SS.dek... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Should have been "During the turn this card is Normal Summoned, you can Normal Summon one additional time." And then it could have had 0 DEF and been recyclable with Recurring Nightmare, just keep bringing it and Madith/Moth/Girastag back over and over. Otherwise you have to have the setup stated above. And that requires running Scout. And having a hand that will be utterly dead if Scout triggers a Torrential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warden Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 There really isn't. I have attempted to use Steelswarm with this card, but he simply cannot stay on the field long enough to be abused in any way. As frankly, to get him to work right he'd have to be set, attacked but not destroyed during their turn, then have another SS summoned in your turn, then the usage of Ultimate Offering or Double Summon. This guy doens't help at all, due to the SS's lack of advantage generation outside of Allure and Duality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warden Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Even then, they would just make Ophion anyways. Considering Gatekeeper would just be a more specific Castor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhat Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Extra extension in a Deck that makes quick card presence should be good. Unless Steelswarms get a Caller with an effect that adds to the hand (spoiler: they don't), this is a silly addition to a packed Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 If you are looking for a random combo: Let this Defense Position card be destroyed > Broken Blocker brings 2 copies > pretty much Normal Summon many monsters in your hand. OT: Seems a little insteresting, I'm not too knowledgable about this archtype, but if there are monarch-like and self-recyclable-like-Tribute(Treeborn) monsters, it sounds fitting.

[url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Steelswarm_Girastag"]http://yugioh.wikia....lswarm_Girastag[/url] + most of the other steelswarms that are lv5+ [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Steelswarm_Scout"]http://yugioh.wikia....teelswarm_Scout[/url] but their treeborn shuts off your Special Summons for the turn you SS via its own effect which hurts it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 The only non-Tribute Steelswarm monsters that are even worthwhile are Caller and Cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
